I am a thorough and thoughtful workplace investigator who has conducted investigations for private and public sector employers ranging from technology startups and large contracting firms to national nonprofits and municipal governments. My investigations have involved employees from the C-suite to the rank and file, and a wide range of serious and sensitive legal and business issues. I also have experience with investigations involving public safety personnel, including police officers, firefighters, and probation officers.Prior to joining Van Dermyden Makus, I worked as an employment lawyer for two large law firms before starting and running my own employment law firm representing both employers and employees. My clients have included Fortune 500 companies, numerous public agencies, closely-held family businesses, and C-suite executives.My experience helps me to conduct investigations and reach credible findings without agendas or preconceived notions, and I am comfortable working with senior leaders as both clients and key witnesses. I keep up to date on contemporary management issues and best practices, helping me to understand the broader workplace culture issues that can arise during investigations.
